Iron Man Tri must have inspired me. My day started off with a morning run on the treadmill.
Running on the beach or on the streets is way too dark and kind of scary.
This is what the resort looks like at 5 o'clock in the morning. Much prettier in the day.
Loving the "inspirational messages" on my socks.
On our way to Hilo, we stopped at Tex's for big breakfast and picked up some malasadas.
It was delicious, but waaaaay too heavy for me. Glen had the infamous ono dish- Loco Moco, Camille had the pancakes and of course bacon & I had the omelet with hash browns.
Told ya so - HEAVY!
It was such an amazingly pretty drive to Hilo along the coast.
During the drive, this was our view to the left.
The right side view was sporadic residential areas, lush green scenery, and even a few waterfalls.
Visiting the Hilo Zoo/Rain Forest was a nice way of getting out for a leisurely stroll, albeit the setting is NOTHING like the World Famous SD Zoo. Pretty sad, but it's Hawai'i...people go to the beaches.

One day in Hilo is barely enough. There was so much on this side that we still wanted to see, especially after a short visit to the National Volcanic Center. We got to walk through a lava tube, and poor Camille she was terrified after daddy told her it was a batcave....good one!
But she was fine as long as he was holding her.
Driving back was just as pretty, but we were beat from the heat and a long day on the road.
